+
+Here are some things to think about if you are interested in
+contributing to the Linux-PAM effort.
+
+1. If you have a suggestion mail the pam-list!
+
+2. TODO: Comments
+ ----- --------
+
+ [modules]
+
+pam_time should log an error if it denies access.
+
+pam_smartcard?? It has already started to happen. (Alex Yuriev has a
+ smart-card module...)
+
+pam_floppy?? A alternative login mechanism might involve
+ authenticating with a personal specially
+ formatted floppy!? (got to make some use of
+ all those strange Linux incompatible floppies
+ I keep getting from ISPs ;^)
+
+pam_??? If you are interested in another type of
+ authentication method--just make a module!
+ If you want it registered/some help, email the
+ list.
+
+ [misc]
+
+SVGA & X-conv Currently, libpam-misc contains a text-only
+ conversation function. A graphical one,
+ for X or SVGA would be very welcome,
+ [Ben Buxton is working on an X one (as of
+ 1996/12/1)] applications like xlock
+ etc.. would benefit from this.
+
+
+Issues that need to be resolved:
+--------------------------------
+
+- can we support the use_mapped_pass flag without running into problems
+ with ITAR rules? [this problem is likely to mutate. The DCE-RFC
+ people are considering the addition of a mapping module type - one
+ that other modules can use to safely store passwords...]
+
+ - anyone know where someone to email for FREE legal advice/support?
+
